Skip Holtz is out according to ESPN's Brett McMurphy. CoachingSearch.com | The Most Coaching News Throughout The Day
Skip is a good coach, a place like Southern Miss would be lucky to have him. Also would fit at Northern Illinois or La Tech (If that job opens). Could even be a backup plan at Arkansas or Colorado.
I thought his move to South Florida was the wrong one.. His stock was really high at ECU when he took that job.

Colorado's search for a new coach can get into full speed Sunday, with its No. 1 target, Cincinnati coach Butch Jones, having completed the regular season Saturday.
Multiple sources say Jones is Colorado's top target to replace the fired Jon Embree. Colorado could not initiate contact with Jones, however, until Cincinnati's season is done. Purdue appears to the other main suitor for Jones, who is expected to interview soon now that the season is over.
Both Colorado and Purdue appear willing to greatly increase Jones' contract, which is paying him $1.58 million this year, plus incentives. Colorado is willing to pay from $2 million to $2.5 million a year for its new coach.
Let me be clear that we are doing all we can to keep Coach Jones at UC. I consider him a brother and this is the right place for him
Butch Jones: Sources tell us Butch spent most of the day with Purdue and understands what they can offer. Also hear Cincinnati is making a significant offer to keep him. Will update...
TCU: Hearing further confirmation to what we told you weeks ago, Gary Patterson isn't looking to leave TCU. Wouldn't surprise us to see an announcement of an extension to stay at TCU looooong term.

Don't be surprised if South Florida contacts Western Kentucky head coach Willie Taggart. Coaching Search Ticker | CoachingSearch.com

Josh Newberg ‏@joshnewberg247
Skip Holtz fired after 3 seasons. Went 3-9 this year and will receive a 2.5 mill buyout from #USF.
Andy Staples ‏@Andy_Staples
He would be, but he can probably do better. RT @Mengus22: Willie Taggart played at Manatee. He'd be perfect for USF.
